PERSONALITY - Status Settings - Address Via DMX
When ON, define the desired DMX address via an external controller.
NOTE: This process assumes the fixture DMX address is set to 001. If fixture DMX address is not at 001, you must
adjust the channel numbers accordingly in order for this feature to work.
For example: if your fixture address is 010, then Channel 1 becomes Channel 10, Channel 2 becomes Channel 11,
and Channel 3 becomes Channel 12.
1. Connect the fixture to the external controller and power ON.
2. Set the DMX value of Channel 1 on the controller to (7).
3. Set the DMX value of Channel 2 on the controller to (7) or (8).
When set to (7), the DMX address can be set between (1) and (255).
When set to (8), the DMX address can be set between (256) and (511).
4. Using Channel 3 on the controller set the desired DMX address of the fixture.
Example 1: If the desired DMX address is 57, set Channel 1 to a value of (7), set Channel 2 to a
value of (7), and then set Channel 3 to a value of (57).
Example 2: If the desired DMX address is 420, set Channel 1 to a value of (7), set Channel 2 to a
value of (8), and then set Channel 3 to a value of (164). (256+164=420)
5. After setting Channel 3 to the desired DMX address value, wait for approximately 20 seconds (some
fixtures may require a longer time) for the fixture to complete the address reset function.
